No it is most definitely not for me!

Any known faults?

Things to check:

Brabus Exclusiv whatever that is - sounds like an Ikea special edition

Do they hold their value?

One being looked at is 55 plate, 20K miles, £8.5K

sound right?

sounds stupid to me

I think Energetic one of the mods on the Greek site owned one.

It could be another member on the Greek site but Im sure Energetic will know who.

Check the engine Pete.

I have NEVER seen one driven at less that flat out.

Seriously, every one I see on my daily motorway jaunts is doing a ton.

Plugs every 15k.

They all leak around the wing mirrors.

Great fun, shocking build quality - well they are French built after all

Forget the Brabus - to expensive and they only added 10bhp but increased the weight massively. Go for the light model - suits the ethos of the car much better.

Busy at the moment, but drop me a PM for more details

Busy at the moment too but will get back to you once i get an opening.

I might be the person "from the Greek members" who used to own one.

I know Bassoctopus through the various Smart Forums as well. (Bullet_1800 if it does ring a bell)

Octopus's review says it all really but will add some info later on.

Great fun... (have a look at the sig adn then even browse throug other youtube vids on my channel )
